re: water midwtchamp
The article does take into accouint using diuretics....mostly natural forms ie. uva ursi, vit c, ECA, dandelion....however i have used it successfully with precription ones as well..ie aldactone, aldactazide, lasix IV....
The whole idea is based on a window of opportunity that the body provides due to a slow reaction response. Due to high intake and a sudden stop the body cannot adjust quick enough to stop the diuresis..therefore you keep losing water when you stop drinking...if you taper you are allowing the body ample time to adjust and thus defeating the purpose. The idea works well with both natural and prescription...you just need to find the appropriate time to stop on friday..before the show...a trial run always is a good idea!
Peace,
